Aaron Rowe Exits Ed Sheeran Tour After Macklemore Split
After Macklemore and Ed Sheeran confirmed their split following Macklemore's pro-Palestine performance, Aaron Rowe left Sheeran's tour, spoke against the genocide in Palestine during his concert, and rejoined Dermot Kennedy's North American tour.
Aaron Rowe spoke about the current situation in Palestine during his concert and said the genocide must be stopped. He also described the media narrative surrounding Ed Sheeran as a circus and linked his support for Macklemore to Macklemore's support for Palestine.
On September 4 in New Jersey, Macklemore called for Free Palestine during the first night of Ed Sheeran's opening performance and performed the protest song Hind's Hall. Pink criticized Macklemore's comments online, and Robert Kraft was reported to have given Sheeran an ultimatum to remove the rapper from the tour.
After Macklemore and Sheeran confirmed their separation, Rowe left the tour along with Finneas, Lukas Graham and Beoga. Cœur de pirate, Nemahsis and bbno$ were among the Canadian artists who supported Macklemore. Rowe later rejoined Dermot Kennedy's North American tour for additional October shows.
Lukas Graham announced a new North American concert tour for 2027. Sheeran performed his first concert without support artists in Philadelphia on Saturday, September 19, where he addressed the controversy. Rowe's North American tour ended on September 23 at Rumba Café in Columbus, Ohio.
